This is a bit of a hack to get around the fact that PPAs don't have
upload queues or freezes. I'm very reluctant to implement anything like
this, especially since the ACL model applies to more than just PPAs,
i.e. Ubuntu.

A better solution is to actually implement a frozen PPA, or allow PPAs
to have the same states that a distroseries has and restrict upload
access based on that. I'm not sure yet how to fit in a restricted list
of uploaders as opposed to a total upload freeze though, I'd need to
think about that.
